I'm having problems with a spypoint camera. Was on the free trial unlimited plan getting pics consistently every day for the last month. About 5 days ago that ran out. I purchased the 1000 pics per month plan. Have only received a couple pics for one day.

Camera is in communication. SD card not even half full. Have about 50% cell signal and 50% battery power.

Anyone run into this? I plan on going to land maybe tomorrow to check it out first hand

By the time your battery level is that low it switches resources to taking pics and doesn't transmit them all. Use the energizer ultimate lithium batteries and change them once the camera says below 75%.

Anything reading less that 100% on battery means they are toast. It’s just reading a lower than anticipated voltage and guessing at that point. Use lithiums and set the power source setting to AA_lit or whatever, that will give you a little more notice.

The battery life will dramatically improve if you set it to send the pics less often. Searching for signal and transmitting the data is the biggest drain. I leave mine set to send a twice a day and they’ve been going strong since a month before bow opener, but one spot I was excited about chewed through a set of batteries in three week sending after every pic.

You will have to go to the website and live chat . They will cancel the subscription and you will be able to purchase the new plan. I just did 3 of mine. You will have to provide the SIM card number which you can find on the app. Took abou 10 minutes total and that was purchasing the new subscription.
